Winter Memories with Simple Vintage Flannel Season!
Hey everyone, this is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) with two layouts using the Simple Vintage Flannel Season collection! This collection is a cozy, winter woodland collection that’s perfect for all your winter scrapbooking! It features gorgeous deep reds, forest greens, navy and teal tones, with browns and crisp whites creating a rustic yet festive feel. It’s packed full of adorable icons and motifs such as vintage snowmen, forest animals, and pinecones…I just love it!
For this layout, I went for a split design so I could showcase both sides of one paper. On one side, I used the blue polka dot print, and on the other, the cute woodland trees. I paired my photo with a large tag from the Big Bits pack that features the vintage sweetest snowman on a sledge. I carefully cut around him so I could tuck the corner of my photo underneath.
I created a large cluster in this area using Bits & Pieces, Floral Bits, and labels, which I arranged around my photo. I love the little cardinals in this collection, I included one sitting amongst the foliage, and it looks so sweet!
For my title, I used the phrase ‘let it snow’ in flannel print from the Foam Stickers. My photo is a bit of a stretch… we don’t get much snow in my part of the UK, and this very light dusting was all we got last year! It didn’t stop my little boy from being super excited though, he even managed to make a snowball from it and throw it at me!
To balance out the large cluster, I added a smaller one on the right side of the layout with some pretty florals, a bow, and a few phrase pieces. I also added my handwritten journaling in this area.
I finished off with some Decorative Brads and a few splatters of white paint for that perfect snowy touch. Here is the link to my process video if you would like to watch how it came together: https://youtu.be/bO24RSeSkEg
For my second layout using the Simple Vintage Flannel Season collection, I decided to cut one of those adorable flannel prints in half diagonally. I then pieced another quarter triangle into the top section of the page, again showcasing both sides of one paper on a single layout! I left the final quarter triangle free of patterned paper… so of course, I filled it up with embellishments!
I used a family photo from last year, which I placed almost in the centre of the layout (but not quite!). I wanted it to cross the divide between the papers, creating a nice flow across the page. I then began clustering lots of beautiful Floral Bits around the top left corner of the photo.
For my title, I used the cute ‘let’s stay in’ Foam Sticker, placing it along the diagonal line. It crosses the corner of my photo, a slightly quirky placement, but I love how it looks!
I continued tucking in more florals and a big bow from the Bits & Pieces in that section of the layout. I also added in a few snowflakes to fill some of the remaining white space.
Over on the right-hand side, I added a pretty blue bow to the corner of my photo, along with a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers. They say things like ‘winter joy’ and ‘winter is warmer with you’, I always love adding little phrases like these to my layouts!
To finish, I added some Decorative Brads, handwrote my journaling in the diagonal gap between the patterned papers, and splattered a few touches of white paint for that snowy finish.
I love how this one turned out, it was so fun to make, and the Simple Vintage Flannel Season collection is just perfect for all those cozy winter memories!
Thank you so much for joining me today, be sure to check out the Simple Vintage Flannel Season collection for all your cozy winter memories!
Happy scrapping
